SE Series - The Champion of Slip-Ons - Available for
Harley-Davidson 2009 Models
SuperTrapp SE's (Super Elites) have been used by one of the
world's largest OEMs for years as their Performance II exhaust.
It gets even better, when you've got some scuffed up end caps from coming
in close contact with curbs one too many times, we've got 12 end caps
that are compatible with the old Performance II exhaust as well as our SE
Series and Kerker Slip-Ons and Systems, so you can get some brand new,
good looking end caps back on there!
If that's not enough, the SE's are the champion of numerous magazine
shootouts!
The expertly finished and chrome plated, tunable, SE Series Slip-Ons have
a race proven mechanical baffle that offers SuperTrapp's trademark
increase in horsepower and torque. How much? SE's provide a 10-12% hp
gain.
Left and right hand bodies give riders a personal option to display or
hide the script SuperTrapp logo. A key feature unique to the SE Series
design is an internal baffle heatshield. This heatshield completely
eliminates body bluing.
The SE Series fill a huge demand created in the market today by adding
less than 3dB(SAE J1287) to the stock sound level. SE's provide a deep
rich tone, giving the bike a steady, tough, low rumble and the performance
riders have come to expect from SuperTrapp, all at an affordable price.
SE's will not offend your riding buddies!

earlier. Perfect for the guy or gal who might have backed up into a curb

Sturgis Re-cap
Anyone that
ventured out to Sturgis this year was sure to see the SuperTrapp show
trailer and flag as well as the SuperTrapp and Kerker banners plastered
around the stunt riders' circle. The crew was once again at Legend Top 50
this year, displaying all of their new and already famous exhausts,
firing up the bikes for all to hear the signature SuperTrapp exhaust tone
and talking to all of the riders that came by.
SuperTrapp sponsored, Jay Pullen was there making mouths drop as he
showed off his daredevil stunts. He is currently the only top-level stunt
rider to perform on a Harley and was a huge crowd pleaser. The fans loved
him!
SuperTrapp was a repeat sponsor, awarding $3,000.00 in prizes and
merchandise to winners at the Legend Top 50 Rally Park Bike Show.
Also during the rally, SuperTrapp sponsored the First Annual Broken Spoke
Saloon Old School Ride-In Chopper Show and awarded $1500.00 in product to
the Best of Show Winners.
Thanks to everyone that stopped out and we look forward to seeing
everyone again next year!

SuperTrapp on Moto Guzzi Quota Motorcycle
Encore Performance
and Fabrication writes:
"For the muffler, we looked to the American company Supertrapp, and
their second generation internal disc series of mufflers. This small
diameter muffler has their "quiet core" insert combined with
their well known tunable disc system. The body of the muffler is in
aluminum, with a stainless steel end cap. It is physically much smaller
than the OEM muffler, and significantly lighter."

equipped with either SuperTrapp or Kerker exhaust systems. If you or your
customer built a custom bike, a cafe racer or a street tracker around an
H-D or S&S XL style motor send IronWorks a photo of your ride.
There's a chance the bike could be seen in IronWorks magazine! The top
ten entries will be shown in the May/June 2009 issue of IronWorks and the
winning bike will be shown in the July 2009 issue.
IT'S FREE!

have to do is send a GOOD picture of your bike. It makes sense that you
take the picture showing the SuperTrapp/Kerker exhaust on the bike.
Digital photos must be high resolution of at least 300 dpi jpeg or tiff
format. Old style real photos will be accepted too. When you send your
photo please include some info about the bike. Like which type of
SuperTrapp/Kerker exhaust system you used, why you chose SuperTrapp or
Kerker, the motor specs, tranny, frame, forks, tires etc.
All entries must be submitted by December 1, 2008. Send your email
entries to: dain@ironworksmag.com
subject SuperTrapp Virtual Bike Show Entry. Snail mail entries go to Dain

Matt Weidman - SuperTrapp Sponsored Flat-Track Racer
Billings, Montana - August 1st & 2nd
Billings Short Track
"What a crazy track this was! There were alot of riders and it got
rough. After getting fourth in both my heats I found out that only the
top 5 were going to get paid. I had two back row starts and wasn't
expecting much. The first main I came from dead last to 8th so I felt
really good for the next main. The next main I got a killer start and
worked my way up from 7th to 2nd. After trying to pass Sammy Halbert in
the last couple laps I just couldnt make a pass that stuck. I was happy
to get second in the open class and take home a piece of the pie."
Billings Half Mile GNC Singles
"I felt great in qualifying, and ended up 10th overall. After
working Joe Kopp my entire heat race, I finally passed him on the last
lap for the transfer spot. It felt good to be in the main, and I felt
like I could put a really solid finish together in the main. However in
the main the the bike had some trouble with the carb and it limited how
good the bike was working. I ended up salvaging a 12th place which was ok
but definately not the results we had hoped for."
Sturgis, South Dakota - August 4th & 5th
Sturgis Short Track
"Well this night definitely didn't go as planned. After getting a
stacked heat for the first class, I finished fourth and I had to get top two.
I went out for my open pro heat race and won. I went out for my 450 semi
and after battling with A.J. Eslick I won that and felt pretty good going
into the main. I got a bad start in the main and was riding mid-pack when
one of the decent size bumps on the track reached out and bit me. I went
over the bars and the bike landed on me...I suffered a mild concussion
and decided to take the rest of the week off to recover."

Pike's Peak Hill Climb Race Re-cap
The 85th running
of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb was held on July 21st in
Colorado Springs, CO. It is the second oldest motorsports event in the
United States. Pikes Peak International Hill Climb attracts nearly 150
race entries a year with vehicles ranging from 250cc motorcycles, 450cc
ATVs, Trophy Trucks, and all the way up to big rig trucks. The "Race
to the Clouds" began in 1916, and it has captured the hearts of
racers around the world that compete in the event annually, which is like
no other race course in the world.
Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race begins at a staggering 9,400
feet and the finish line is at the top of the mountain at 14,110 feet.
The race to the top of the mountain covers 12.4 miles and drivers face
156 turns on the path to the clouds. The road narrows down to only 20
feet wide in sections, and it goes from pavement to gravel at the top of
the mountain, and one false move along the way could send a racer
tumbling thousands of feet down the mountain with a one drop-off over
6,000 feet.
Robert Kline rode phenomenally for his first attempt racing up the
mountain and came in 3rd place (13:12.5) on his Honda TRX '07 equipped
with SuperTrapp's TC Race Series.
